牛津初中英语9A知识点归纳(4)

牛津英语9A Unit 2

一、 重点词汇

1.

1. Columbus_____________ America but he did not explore the new continent．

2. Edison______________ the electric light bulb．

二、语法点拨

1. would rather…than…

这个句式意思是―宁愿……而不愿……‖，表示主观愿望，即在两者之中选择其一。例如： She would rather die than lose the children. 她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们。

(1) 使用此句型时要注意―平行结构‖，即在than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组，如两个名词、

两个不定式、两个介词短语等。例如：

I would rather have noodles than rice. 我宁愿吃面条也不吃米饭。

I would rather go to work by bike than by bus. 我宁愿骑自行车也不愿乘公共汽车去上班。

I would rather talk with his mother than with his father. 我宁愿和他妈说话而不愿和他爸说话。

(2) 此句型有时可代替 would prefer+带 to的不定式。例如：

I’d rather fly than go by sea．=I’d prefer to fly． 我宁愿乘飞机也不愿乘船。

这两个结构后面带名词时情况也一样。例如：

--Would you like some tea？您想喝点茶吗？

--I’d prefer a coffee．我想喝点咖啡。

=I’d rather have coffee than tea. 我想喝点咖啡，不想喝茶。
